Causes of secretory otitis media mnemonic
CARTOSAT(CARTOSAT is a series satellite which observe the earth...we will use it for our mnemonic)
C=Cleft palate
A=Adenoid hyperplasia
R=Rhinitis(chronic)
T=Tonsillitis(chronic)
O=Otitic barotrauma
S=Sinusitis(chronic)
A=Adenovirus infection
T=Tumors of nasopharynx
Treatment of SOM(Secretory otitis media)
MAD MAG
M=Middle ear aeration(Most important)
A=Antiallergic
D=Decongestants(xylometazoline,oxymetazoline)
M=Myringotomy
A=Aspiration of fluid
G=Grommet insertion
Middle ear aeration is done by Valsalva maneuver(commonly)..
Middle ear aeration can also be done by politzerization...
Children can't be asked to do Valsalva because they do not listen of anyone ,so we give them chewing gum.. chewing gum has to chewed repeatedly that's why it's called chewing gum.. the good thing is that repeated chewing movement open the eustachian tube...
